What are the solutions of the equation 4x2 + 3x = 24 – x? –3, 2, or 4 –3 or 2 –2, 3, or 4 –2 or 3
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:x = -3 or x = 2Step-by-step explanation:[tex]4x^2+3x=24-x\qquad\text{subtract 24 from both sides}\\\\4x^2+3x-24=-x\qquad\text{add}\ x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\4x^2+4x-24=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\x^2+x-6=0\\\\x^2+3x-2x-6=0\\\\x(x+3)-2(x+3)=0\\\\(x+3)(x-2)=0\iff x+3=0\ \vee\ x-2=0\\\\x+3=0\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\x=-3\\\\x-2=0\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\x=2[/tex]
